Spoofed Number SMS Spam
2 by fractal618 | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I give up. For the past two years now I've been getting 5 to 15 spam texts a month always from spoofed numbers. Often times including a hyperlink. I get phone calls too. About twice as many. Also from spoofed numbers. I installed the paid version of Robocall a few months ago I frequently re register on the do not call registry. I even spent a lot of time reporting the spam on the dnc website. I want to learn how they are spoofing numbers and how they are making money. Maybe if I understand how they're doing this I can feel a little less bothered by these incessant interruptions.
